    PSA - Buco J24 mouton collar - old/new fit

    Funny that they have a note saying "no it won't fit at all" lol, trying to upsell people on getting a new jacket I guess.

    johnson leathers m-500

    I'm jealous of all of you with these Johnson experiences. They never replied to my email so I tried reaching out through Instagram and whoever runs that basically replied to my questions with "That's cool". Lol. I'll have to phone them, maybe that will work.

    Doubt to choose length Board Racer j100.

    Who convinced you this is a bad fit? It's spot on, unusually so.

    Question about schott's cross chest vs chest

    I would ignore those measurements; remember, this is a spec sheet for factory use. Those probably refer to something that comes up in leather cutting or stitching. The relevant chest measurement as a customer is the first one.

    Schott 641

    They're not. The upper sleeve of these riding focused models is cut for extreme freedom of movement, about as good as a G-1. You can tell from the forearm that the sleeve size is right. @Canuck Panda I have a ~1.6mm steer Schott. It's extremely hefty. Doesn't quite fit but I've kept it around...

    Vanson jacket help

    The bi-swing isn’t blown out. Vanson’s are maximally functional (and have a cool look in their own right). Will already covered flattening the collar. Great jacket!

    Simmons Bilt MacKay

    They did it again?!?! I would have thought in making your jacket they would at least fix what they screwed up on Pandemic's. Did they at least refund you? They were refusing to refund Pandemic until the embarrassment of the TFL thread got too much, IIRC. No offence intended to anyone (really)...

    Aero Maxwell size 40, 42 and 44

    Yeah the Premier/1930s cut is almost absurdly undersized in the shoulders compared to standard for those sizes. You generally need to go up one size or even two. The numbers don't especially make sense to me. I'm glad Aero was able to switch it out!

    Aero Maxwell size 40, 42 and 44

    @TartuWolf I think this is the most straightforward explanation. I would go with this over the over-complicated theories us TFLers often get sucked into (myself included).

    My first A-2 Jacket : Bill Kelso Dubow 27798, Liberty Seal

    Aero seems like the right bet.

    SCHOTT 618 Belt Buckle Snap Install

    I’m sure they can do it. She had them make me a real mouton collar and they definitely have brown and tan mouton in the factory because they use it for G-1s and half belts.

    SCHOTT 618 Belt Buckle Snap Install

    In my case, I generally wear it done up, but if I don't, I want it to hang like Johnny Ramone rather than stay floating in the air. Head of the repair/alterations department at Schott. Amazing to work with. If you need something worked on, it's Jerri @schottnyc.com

    SCHOTT 618 Belt Buckle Snap Install

    It's so even if you don't have the belt fastened, the buckle doesn't come down and hit your gas tank. I get the practical appeal but I'm shallow so I dislike it for aesthetic reasons (the floating buckle looks weird lol).

    I've gone twice. It's a great experience.

    Schott NYC customer service

    Since you're in Staten it's not much of a trip to drop it off at the factory I imagine. Have you ever come to the annual sale?

    Schott NYC customer service

    They do great repair/alteration work at, if anything, below-market prices. A relative (big guy but average height) even went into a Schott store for a sleeve shortening and they sent it to the factory for free! (I wouldn't say to count on that–especially since their alteration rates are...

    Field Leathers

    Not sure but it looked really bad, almost caked-over.

    Field Leathers

    Looks solid but be careful. I saw a guy here ruin a deadstock Crown by trying to dye it.

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    I've come full circle on this. I've come to like their quite basic website; I essentially see it as business-to-business focused, with the savings accordingly passed down. As for the jackets with branding (not something I generally like), not all of them have it but those that do are very...

    Attempt #2 - Schott PER70 ( S ! )

    Having experienced this pattern block, if he goes up enough to fit his shoulders, everything else will fall into place.
